Ezra isn't someone who believes in love and long-lasting relationships. His parents have always been strong and supportive of him, but he remembers how they would fight sometimes, and it was hard for them to survive the last 19 years of their marriage. Ever since he moved away to college in Conneticut, things never exactly felt the same.
He'd only ever been in one relationship with a guy who cheated on him, and it was more than he could handle (granted he was 17 and they were in the same closet together. Misery loves company, right?) But when he meets Dean, a starry-eyed, brown-haired boy who believes that love can stand the test of time and anything the world throws at it, will he be able to see past his own skepticism to believe that love can last?

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete
